Three juvenile foxes were successfully released back into the wild, last week, after undergoing rehabilitation at the Mercer County Wildlife Center, located in Titusville. The young foxes, each weighing about two pounds, were brought to the center in late April from three separate locations as infants in need of care.
The Wildlife Center provided essential treatment for exposure and sarcoptic mange, nurturing the foxes until they reached an age where they could survive independently. The release was deemed perfect, with the final glimpse of the foxes being the flip of a tail as they returned to their natural habitat.
Wildlife Center Friends, a 501(c)(3) organization based in Hopewell Valley, is dedicated to preserving native wildlife and the shared habitat. Each year, the center treats and releases over 2,000 native wildlife species, while more than 40,000 school children and adults engage in their Educational Outreach Programs. These programs offer close-up encounters with wildlife, such as the majestic bald eagle, fostering a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humans and all living things.
Through their efforts in medical care, rehabilitation, and public education, Wildlife Center Friends continues to make a significant impact on the preservation of local wildlife and their habitats.
